Roman Caernarfon

A leisurely walk (city/town) in national park Snowdonia in Gwynedd, Wales, about 1.50km (0.93 mi) long with an estimated walking time of about 0:30h. It is suitable for families with children, prams & pushchairs, wheelchairs.

A stroll out of Caernarfon about 1/2 mile (about 20mins) to Segontium Roman Fort. At the moment the visitor centre and small museum are closed for re-furbishment; they should be open again for 2014.
It's quite an extensive site with plenty to see. Don't miss the foundations and remains of a retaining wall. This short walk could be combined with my other walk, 'Caernarfon, Castle and town walls'. Allow at least 3hrs.
In the castle is the Royal Welsh Fusiliers museum on 3 floors, including a 20 minute film show, 'From Eagles to Dragon' on Roman times to the present, and a video of Prince Charles' investiture. The 'Segontium Roman Fort' pamphlet by Jeffrey L. Davies is available from Cadw online shop for £2+£2.95 p&p.
